He was the President of the South, not Lee. Lincoln, Lee, and Booth were cousins, people have forgotten that. Just as they have forgotten that the Lincoln's family changed their name from DeHugh, after their ancestor was tried for treason in England, and beheaded.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813767661618932018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509760839117869165.post-77736663784290995812011-01-11T05:37:26.807-08:002011-01-11T05:37:26.807-08:00Interesting.

We were discussing the use of that word and how it's okay for groups of similar background to call each other that, but it is racist for white people to use it. I don't agree with calling people "niggers" in any case because of the negative undertones associated with it and don't find it acceptable in my own vernacular. HOWEVER, I believe if it is unacceptable in one case, it should be unacceptable in all cases (with the exception of the aforementioned book, which was the vernacular at the time). I don't think it's okay for a fat person to call me fat just because they are in the same boat.Sarah Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157922831774407194noreply@blogger.com
